What’s the Problem?

June 21, 2017 – According to an FDA Recall Notice issued Monday, the following hummus products are being recalled for potential listeria contamination:

Marketside Classic Hummus with Pine Nuts

Fresh Foods Market Artisan Hummus with Pine Nuts

Lantana White Bean Hummus with Pine Nut and Herb Topping

Knoxville, Tennessee-based House of Thaller has voluntarily recalled certain batches of 10-ounce containers after one of the company’s suppliers warned that its ingredients could be tainted with listeria.

Affected products were distributed to grocery stores across the U.S. between April 18 and June 13, and in Canada on April 20.

Anyone who purchased hummus affected by the recall should discard it immediately or contact House of Thaller for information about how to get a refund. You can also check the product’s 7 digit use-by code that starts with a W on the FDA’s website.

Listeria infection, or listeriosis, mainly affects pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and adults with compromised immune systems. However, in some cases patients without these risk factors may develop the infection. Signs and symptoms of listeriosis include:

Fever

Muscle aches

Nausea

Diarrhea

If the infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms may include:

Headache

Stiff neck

Confusion or changes in alertness

Loss of balance

Convulsions

To date, no listeria infections or other illnesses have been associated with the hummus recall.
